Deborah Marlin
My name is Deborah Marlin and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I have lived in a variety of countries and states and find that I have a diverse perspective about most everything. For the past twenty years I have lived on a ranch but don’t ask me about livestock or pastures! I enjoy people and find counseling a fascinating endeavor. I have graduated from the University of Texas and the University of Missouri and have trained over the years in a variety of approaches. My work setting has been with the military and family members in Germany, private rehabilitation in Texas, the school system in Texas, and then I continue to work in public mental health while seeing clients in my private practice. Trauma Informed Care is stressed at the mental health facility where I do some work and in work in my private practice. The work I do with children and families is not much different from that with individuals who have experienced trauma along with boundary and attachment issues. I find Cognitive Behavior Therapy to be a very useful technique but what I use is determined by the needs of each client. I find counseling to be an adventure that can yield very positive results

Susana (Susie) Hernandez
I assist adults and teens from various backgrounds to realize their fullest potential in life through the development of healthy relationships with both their family and community. My counseling approach is simple: I focus on the therapeutic relationship between counselor and client first – trust is the connection that will open the doors to a deeper state of healing. I am convinced that, for most people, a sense of belonging is foundational to psychological well-being and I aim to support my clients in discovering their identity so they know that they belong. I believe that when we know our identity, we are able to experience acceptance, integration, and wholeness. Some of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and addictions. I also work with families to improve communication and connection. I believe that combining the client's faith and spirituality into their mental health counseling will help their recovery process. When I am not in session with clients, I can be found with my family at a nearby park or gym or in the kitchen cooking something yummy.
